To her Tare presenco of mind, Mrs. L. J. Aberno, aged 75 years, owes her life today. Mrs. Labcron was crossing Broadway when a Grand avenue car bore down upon her. In tho crush of street traffic, it was impossible for her to escape. Hundreds of Christmas shoppers gazed horror stricken, expecting to see tho aged woman ground to death beneath the wheels. Mrs. Laberon calmly sat down, an instant before the fender struck her ankles. She was toossed back against tho screen, still sitting upright and thus she re mained gazing benignly about when a bndly frightened motormnn brought the heavy car to a stop. Then Mrs. Laberon was osisted to ler feet. She was not even bruised "I realized that if I sat down and raised my feet, I would not be hurt," snid Mrs. Laberon after the unusual experience. "I suppose most women would have been excited but I was not. It was fun riding on tho fon lor, but I would not like to repeat it too often." KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24. When friends of Miss Margaret Sul livan, who died here roceutly, took $2,000 in currency they found in her trunk to a local bank today they found that tho dead woman who was believed' to have been penniless be fore tho money was discovered, had $3000 on deposit. Miss Sulivan worked for 27 years at tho same hotel. When tho propri etor died several years ago, ho left his faithful sen-ant $1000. Miss Sul livan put the money in a bank and the institution failed. Her friends be- 'is a shrewd trader. He ascertains what you wnut and makes you pay his price. Tho price is fidelity and subsorvionco to the Aldrich control."

Shortly before midnight, however, Guard Watt heard a thumping sound enmnnting from the murder's cell and an investigation showed Roselair pounding his head against tho bars.
